𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥! 😊Despite COVID-19 taking a heavy toll on the world now, life is also starting to get back to normal - also in the Wuhan area. Currently, ACO Funki is in the process of installing a full-line project for 2.000 sows just outside of Wuhan.

In times of crisis, we are reminded of the importance of local manufacturing. We’re proud to be a long standing Australian made manufacturer.

At our head office in Emu Plains, we manufacture polymer concrete drainage channels and pits, rotomoulded plastic cable and drainage pits, stainless steel channels and access covers to meet the needs of the Australian market.

In response to an increase in weather extremes, a surface water management plan now has to be submitted with every planning application. David Smoker, Technical Director at ACO and Chair of the BPF Pipes SuDS/Surface Water Group, explains how the Group has been directly involved in the production of three new European standards to support a cohesive approach to SuDS specification.

Together with a new BBA protocol for geocellular systems this means housing developers and water companies can have confidence in products manufactured by BPF Pipes Group members. https://bit.ly/2Z75Tll#suds #surfacewatermanagement #geocellular

The beauty of nature is always based on mathematical principles. This also applies to the #Voronoi pattern that served as inspiration for our new design cast iron grating and was awarded with Red Dot Award 2020. Dr. Daniel Sommerfeld (mathematician and PIM manager within the ACO Group) explains on our website how such a pattern is created in nature and what this phenomenon has to do with mathematics: https://lnkd.in/eNcmV-V
